I just got this one this weekend at the Central States show.
It's a Type III. And quite colorful for a mint state example.
We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.
There are some great trime pics posted on this thread.. I did not know there were so many fish scale fans on this forum. One of the main deficits in Numismatics is the absence of a good reference book on 3CS coins. I have thought many times about researching and writing one but I simply do not have the time. I put it forward as a challenge for one of you.
Android... WOW! PL obv.? and rev.? Trime... I'll pass on the challenge though I would buy the book. Do you have any pics to share? I must say I like your handle and was wondering if you would show up. I've always enjoyed your posts.
Nic, simply beautiful 1857. Type 2's almost never look that good. When you do find one, it's usually the 1858, not one of the earlier dates. Wish I owned simply any 3 cent silver that looked that nice.
<< <i>Here's my 1851-O. This has always been my favorite trime because it was the only branch mint piece. In fact it was the lowested denomination that was issued from a branch mint before the San Francisco mint issued cents in 1908.

Thanks for sharing! Perhaps the most intriguing release in the series!

Just when you thought you have seen it all, Boiler shows up and proves that you haven't. Keep 'em coming, Boiler!
